On The Horizon

It's always good to avoid angry customers.
Hence why I work in the mornings. Angry customers don't usually come until evening.

However, this morning.
Basically at the crack of opening.
We got a call from our sister store. Asking if we had any Guinea Pigs left.

We had one.
As unfortunately, the 18 guinea pigs we were supposed to get in this week....didn't happen. We got in a big fat ZERO, leaving us with just like 5 guinea pigs to sell.
And people clamoring for said Guinea Pigs.

*shakes head*

In any case.
We had one Guinea Pig left a white one with red eyes.
-Not surprising as those ones are always the last to sell.

The reason why our sister store was asking though....
Was because apparently a customer currently at their store, had been promised that they would be bringing out fresh guinea pigs today.
Only, when he got there.
At the crack of opening.

There were no guinea pigs to sell.

Either due to them not receiving them, or they sold through them the day before....something.

And the customer was furious that he waited until the last minute to get a guinea pig and the sister store couldn't provide.

So we agreed to hold our single guinea pig for him so he could come get it.

It's never fun to deal with angry customers.
And I wasn't looking forward to dealing with this one. Though hopefully he would be in a better mood when he finally showed up to the store.

However.
An hour passed.
And then two.

....with no sign of the Customer.

So I had the manager call our Sister Store back.
And they'd apparently forgotten to call us back saying that the customer had decided to go to another store further north instead.

Which meant, no angry customer due to show up at any moment.
Yay!!

I like it when I avoid angry people. :)
